Lonely Love

Am I in love?

I am reading love poems

I am writing love poems

And they are all centered on you

All along I didn't know it was you

I try to defend all your negatives

And pretend like no one else exists

I long to be so close to you

And think about all the things you do

I can't stop having you in my dreams

But I can't tell you what my heart screams

Is this what they call love?

When all I can think about is how to be in your midst

When I suddenly stop walking and get lost in a twist

When I sit down wherever I go and start dreaming about you

When I suddenly stop talking to start thinking about you

When I sleep and awaken thinking about you and only you

When it's not your body I long to be with, it's your smile

When it's not your bed I long to be in, it's your place

When it's not your beauty I dream about, it's your style

When it's not your bosoms I wish to hold, it's your face

Is this love true?

I am ready to sail all oceans to be with her

I don't have a diamond ring to offer

But these lines I can write for her forever

I don't have a house with a hundred doors

But I will hold a roof on top of her when it pours

I will put all that's in my power in her soft hands

Just to have her look me into my eyes and smile

Whenever she falls I'd make sure that she lands

I won't be right behind or right in front of her

But I'd be right there by her side holding her hand

Through violent storms or through quiet nights.

Making her happy would be my ultimate job

Her happiness is where my happiness would begin

And when she's sad is when tears would drop

Will this love be ever loved back?

There are no answers to all the questions asked

Because this love is going to die unmasked

If love happens once, that's it for me then

A girl like that will come again who knows when

So its time for this lonely love to slowly burn

Before it reaches a point of no return.
